41 [F4M] #VA #online - looking for tenderness and connection
Just to get it out of the way, I’m plus-sized, since I know not a lot of people are into that. I’m active and healthy and working on losing weight at a healthy, sustainable pace (70 pounds down so far), and I take a lot of care in my grooming and personal appearance.
I work a lot, long hours and weekends, so I don’t have a lot of time or mental/emotional bandwidth to meet or socialize outside of work.
I’m happy and content with most aspects of my life, except that sometimes I wish I had someone close, to care for me and for me to care about. I want someone to talk to, to check in with throughout the day, to celebrate little achievements and comfort for the hard days. I’m open to seeing how things develop, without pressure.
I’m an artist, I really like art, like to read a lot, I’m not much of a media junkie but I like movies (especially weird, schlocky stuff and horror) and video games. I like being in nature and going on hikes, and travel. I have a pretty healthy curiosity about everything, love learning, and generally am a very positive person. I have a fascination with the esoteric, spiritual, philosophical. I love watching YouTube video essays and going down rabbit holes. I tend to get fixations, some lasting longer than others. I’m not religious, but I guess I’d say I’m witchy, into nature worship, tarot cards, astrology and stuff like that.
I’d like to get to know someone kind, gentle, open-minded, clever, and emotionally intelligent. Not conservative. I don’t really have a “type” per se, but I tend to go for well read, sincere, enthusiastic, elegant, neat, calm, nicely groomed. I’m neurodivergent, so I appreciate someone who can communicate clearly and directly and who isn’t too sarcastic. Someone who has themselves together for the most part (I know we’re all works in progress), hopefully with other hobbies and interests besides anime and video games, looking for something deeper than just surface-level — a true connection.
